Masks

[#UnleashSean]

IMO, masks should become a regular part of individual hygiene similar to washing hands.

Do you mean when someone is out and about when they are sick? Or are you just that crazy?

Pre pandemic, I spent significant time each year in Asia (HK, China, Singapore, Japan).  Post-SARS, masks became a bit of a thing in the region, which is what I imagine Jesu is referring to.  But again, it's very small.  Outside of airports where it may be a handful of people you see, you may see a couple on the street, amongst millions of people.  It's far from a standard or regular thing.

Honestly, in places like crowded airports, and subways during flu season. A mask would be a smart thing.

I don't think it becomes a common aspect of life here, but in those types of situations, I could see it become more common and accepted.

After all this, I'll probably keep a KN95 in my backpack when I travel (I have plenty of them now..).  Covid has gotten rid of most of the "that's weird" stigma of wearing a mask - and if end up on a plane sitting next to someone sniffling/coughing/sneezing, I'd even consider putting it on.

Yesterday, Biden said we will all need to wear masks until everyone is vaccinated.

I've been a good soldier this whole time, but this rhetoric is wearing on me. What is the endgame here? Zero-COVID is completely unrealistic.

My understanding is it's till we've had 70% vaccination rate in the country. Isn't that what it takes for herd immunity?

If anyone thinks people will be masking significantly after Memorial Day, they're kidding themselves.  Especially if the "third wave" never really materializes.

We will know in just a few days if lifting orders in places like Texas had much of an impact.

While I sadly agree with you about masks, the current plateau is at the level of last summer's wave. And no sign of it going down significantly, especially with more contagious variants.
In Georgia right now. Masks are being worn by about 60% of prying the grocery store despite constant announcements and signs saying they are required.

Let's see where we are in a few weeks.  My guess is that we will see an uptick in cases, but not nearly as much as some would have thought.

The people running around wearing no mask all have something in common. They are white, and wear red hats.

Fortunately, in some of the areas where they have removed mask ordinances and capacity limits, most have stores/restaurants have kept them in place, because it is better for business.

""It's a political drug now, not a medical drug, and that's caused the complete population's ignorance. And I think we're basically fighting a propaganda war against the medical facts, and that color is not just the population of people, how they think about it, but doctors as well," Risch said earlier in the interview.

Risch also addressed colleagues who have denounced using the drug as a treatment for coronavirus patients.

"There are many doctors that I've gotten hostile remarks about, saying that all the evidence is bad for it, and, in fact, that is not true at all," Risch said, claiming the medication can be used as a "prophylactic" for front-line workers.

"All the evidence is actually good for it when it is used in outpatient uses. Nevertheless, the only people who actually see that are a whole pile of doctors who are on the front lines treating those patients across the country, and they are the ones who are at risk of being forced not to do it," Risch said.


  ok jesu guy, now 'splain to me when our "administration" is going to stop the superspreaders from illegally invading our country including the human traffickers, sex traffickers, drug traffickers, child porn rings etc  they are getting making bank on this crisis that isn't a crisis but FEMA needs to be involved.  otherwise, no biggee eyn'a?

Well, at least you've moved on from that other esteemed doctor, Stella Immanuel.

Demon Seed Forever, oona?

Obviously, Tucker is your new go-to.

Facts? Overrated!
Scientific studies? Ignore them!
Anecdotal evidence? The gold standard for healthcare "professionals".

Fortunately rocket and Louie Gohmert are on top of the southern border issue as well. With that kind of intellectual horsepower...

  note no one wants to address the newest real double bonus- superspreaders coming into this country illegally by the thousands. including drug runners, child predators, terrorists, sex trade traffickers... seems this new transparency is about as clear as chit about what's going on except that it's a "challenge"?  let the reporters and politicians in to see and report on what is really going on!

      the lack of transparency is alarming and should scare the bejesus out of all of us.  what are they afraid to show us?  they've re-created a problem(multiplied) that we were well on our way to fixing in the most humane way possible.  now, under the guise of being humane, we are putting so many people into harms way in multiple ways.  walls do work btw

You're becoming a charicature.  Just stop.

Yes rocket.  Separating children from their parents for months was quite humane.

At least SOMETHING opened his eyes to covid being a real issue. I'm sure he'll take it very seriously now with all the scary aliens we are allowing to roam freely throughout our great country.

Thanks, Rudy.

He forgot to mention the part about Muslim terrorists sneaking in with these rapists and drug dealers.

His ignorance is absolutely stunning.
